Anomalies of tooth position - what does this mean

Anomalies of tooth position occur when the teeth are not in the normal alignment or position, either due to genetic or environmental factors. these anomalies can range from minor misalignments to more severe crowding or spacing of teeth. they can also be caused by trauma, abnormal growth, or dental diseases such as periodontal disease.

What happens during the disease - anomalies of tooth position

Anomalies of tooth position are typically caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. genetic factors such as the size and shape of the maxilla and mandible, as well as the size and shape of the teeth, can predispose individuals to malocclusion. environmental factors such as the presence of thumb-sucking, pacifier use, or mouth breathing can also contribute to malocclusion. in addition, certain habits such as tongue thrusting, clenching or grinding of teeth, or poor oral hygiene can also contribute to malocclusion.
